Publishers NetEnt are back with a bang at the end of June 2015 with a new game called Neon Staxx! This variant is featured in the 5 reels, 40 fixed lines slots section. Neon Staxx is a first in terms of its graphic design.
No other NetEnt game can match this feature with this novelty. Its content invites its players to teleport themselves for a little while in the middle of the 1980s. The locations are designed with neon colour schemes and accompanied by a soundtrack that is rhythmic and animated by multiple sounds coming from a synthesizer.
With its clean lines, the slot machine interface presents itself to the players in front of a turbulent sea that shows the skyscrapers of a big city in the distance. This general representation of the background, which we have to say encourages the emergence of multiple questions, suggests that it is a hologram. Yes indeed, this stormy sea is represented in three dimensions with areas squared by thousands of neon lights.
In other words, everything that is illustrated to accompany the online game Neon Staxx does not exist. The sky is represented in a strange way with a colour palette that is largely focused on pink and black. A sense of insecurity is also present and constant. This is caused by the lightning that keeps striking the ground and the slot area will not be spared either.
Neon Staxx is a fantasy themed video slot that has several animal representations to open up access to 3 game features that focus on a special feature (SuperStaxx), wilds jokers and a scatter option that will plan to trigger free spins. Neon Staxx is a cash game that also offers a fixed jackpot worth 80,000 chips!
With 5 reels and 40 fixed paylines, Neon Staxx allows you to set a bet before each new spin, which can be selected between €0.20 and €100.00. A betting range that should undoubtedly satisfy a good number of players, knowing that this opening to betting is more than correct.
From now on, we will focus in as much detail as possible on the features that Neon Staxx gambling game has in store for its users. The first of the Neon Staxx game options is a special feature.
This feature is unique and is therefore exclusively dedicated to this 40-lines NetEnt slot. This clearly means that it will not be possible to find it in the content of other variants of the brand.
This special feature is called SuperStaxx. The way it works is that it appears as a block of similar symbols stacked on reels 1, 2 and 3. These icons can be of different natures like the viper, the lion, the panther or the golden eagle. As for reels 4 and 5, these will eventually stop to announce their performances.
The special function will deliver winnings every time, knowing that the result of reels 4 and 5 will only amplify them. All the icons will play a role at this stage of the game apart from the scatter which will be sidelined. During the free spins, the special SuperStaxx feature can be active but there are restrictions on how it works. The stacked symbols can only be the predator or wild icons.
We have just mentioned the wild. For this second paragraph of Neon Staxx fantasy game features, we will take a closer look at it to understand its role.
Its symbol is quite stylish with a kind of ball bearing as a representation which, once present on the video slot interface, will perform a 360° rotation on itself. It will be impossible not to notice it on the one hand because of its rather particular gesture but also because the word wild will be clearly mentioned on it in pink colour like the sky.
As with all wild cards, its purpose is to help players win prizes more easily by acting as a symbol substitute. It will be able to act as a substitute for all the icons in the Neon Staxx cash game except for the scatters. As well as adding action during the game and encouraging the growth of winning lines, it will take advantage of the last moment to add a prize of up to 200 chips.
The scatters are icons that are responsible for the birth of free bears. By deduction, we can therefore clearly understand that the Neon Staxx no download slot offers free spins.
In addition to this screenshot during our test, we can also confirm in writing that Neon Staxx offers free spins. Moreover, it will be possible to get them through different tier levels. Indeed, at the minimum, players will be able to enjoy the 10 free spins while at the maximum, the index will be 20 which is far from negligible.
The scatter is very similar to the wild in terms of its physical appearance. This feature is illustrated by an empty green sphere with a pink prism on its surface and the word scatter written just below its base. To start playing Neon Staxx for free, the game will require you to collect a number of 3 scatters anywhere on the screen.
Personally, I loved Neon Staxx. At the beginning, I was not expecting such a graphical achievement at all. I found a real touch of originality knowing that this kind of graphic content had never been offered by Swedish publishers NetEnt before. Neon entertainment clearly immersing you in a futuristic world. If you're looking for this type of slot, NetEnt gaming provider suggests you try Twin Spin™ XXXtreme (2023), Twin Spin (2013) and/or Twin Spin Megaways™ (2020).
These talented developers like to take risks by bringing games of a completely new kind online. For this example, we can say that it is perfectly successful. As of today (24 June 2015), it is impossible to find a variant in the NetEnt gambling library that confuses graphic and sound similarities with Neon Staxx. I'm not a nostalgic person (1980s themed game) but I really enjoyed the soundtrack of Neon Staxx. The synthesizer sound brings a certain strength to the game and the action is well pronounced.
From the point of view of the functionality of this 40-lines 3D slot, I can only be satisfied. Right from the start it is possible to play and win money by playing with a special feature (SuperStaxx). As for its visual content, this feature is unknown in other video slots of the brand. It adds spice to the game and I can guarantee that this option is far from cheap.
Moreover, its operating principle is original with these columns of stacked blocks that do not have the sole purpose of reaching a big win. Let's not forget to mention that Neon Staxx offers the opportunity to play with a maximum of 20 free spins, knowing also that the special feature can be activated at that moment. In addition to its particularly rewarding options, Neon Staxx online game offers a jackpot of €80,000 that can be won at any time!
As we can understand, having been an online slots tester for 4 years, I can say that Neon Staxx is definitely worth a look. All the points that players are looking for are present. A 40 lines game that offers a 96.60% payout rate. It would be a shame not to take advantage of all the benefits this variant has to offer and try to blow your cash in record time!
